Attempted Bloggery Looks At A Richard Taylor Cover Rough
From Attempted Bloggery, October 1, 2021, “Fear Of The Surreal: Richard Taylor Preliminary New yorker Cover Art”
One of the Spill‘s fave blogs takes a look at the evolution of a cover from the late great Richard Taylor.
R. Taylor’s A-Z Spill entry:
Richard Taylor (self portrait from Meet the Artist) Born in Fort William, Ontario, Sept. 18, 1902. Died in 1970. NYer work: 1935 -1967. Collections: The Better Taylors ( Random House, 1944, and a reprint edition by World Publishing, 1945), Richard Taylor’s Wrong Bag (Simon & Schuster, 1961). Taylor also authored Introduction to Cartooning ( Watson -Guptill, 1947). From Taylor’s introduction: the “book is not intended to be a ‘course in cartooning’…instead, it attempts to outline a plan of study — something to be kept at the elbow to steer by.”
